"
or
"On Hallowe'en you may see a witch
If you don't look out, you funny fellow."
or
"Harry and I are giving a Hallowe'en party;
Harry says you owe him four dollars; please be
prompt.))
or
"Monday night the ghosts do dance;
Why didn't you enlist and go to France,
You slacker?"
Another novel invitation is made by cutting a piece of yellow
paper thirteen inches long and four inches wide, and writing on
each inch one of the lines given below. Then begin at the bottom
and fold the paper up, inch by inch. Fasten the last turn down
with a "spooky" gummed sticker, and slip into a small envelope.
When the recipient unfolds the invitation, he will be surprised
to read the following:
Now what on earth
do you suppose
is in this
little folder
keep turning
ha ha ha
further
ha ha ha
further
ha ha ha,
further
ha ha ha
further
It would perhaps be best to telephone the next day to those
guests whom you really want, and give them further details as to
the date and time of the party. Additional fun can be gotten out
of this invitation by failing to put postage stamps on the
envelopes when you mail them; the two cents which each guest will
have to pay for postage due can be returned in a novel manner on
the night of the party by inserting them in sandwiches or stuffed
tomatoes.
For those who may wish to send out more elaborate invitations,
the following distinctly original plan is suggested: Procure a
number of small alarm clocks and a quantity of nitroglycerine or
other high explosive.
